Chantaramas Resort

Save yourself, and please never go here. The room smelled of urine. It was full of insects”””””I do not normally do reviews but this is a public service.

The hotel has nothing to do with the pictures, ist not up to date at all creating a decadent atmosphere , lack of people working, no lights at night and the pool area was super dirty.

Hersey cok guzeldi odalar yeteri kadar konforlu,sahil ve havuz kismi oturma ve yatma secenekleri mevcut ,kahvalti keyifli ve iyiydi.motorsiklet park yerini otel disina koymaktansa otelin kendi araclarini otel alani disina koyup misafir araclarini iceri park etmelerini saglamalari gerekmetktedir

Sehr schönes Hotel mit tollem Pool und nettem Personal. Wir hatten auch das Frühstück dazugebucht, auch das können wir sehr empfehlen, war sehr lecker. Das Zimmer war sehr schön und hatte alles, was man brauchte. Das Hotel liegt allerdings bisschen abseits, deswegen haben wir uns einen Roller gemietet, weil wir auch viel von der Insel sehen wollten. Einen Roller hätte man auch über das Hotel ausleihen können, das haben wir allerdings erst zu spät erfahren sonst hätten wir das wahrscheinlich gemacht.

Best

Lovely hotel, highly recommended

Große alte Anlage. Könnte man viel mehr daraus machen. Etwas mehr von hübscher Deko. Die Terrasse rund um den Pool war von Style zusammengewürfelt. Überhaupt nicht schön. Ebenso der gedeckte Tisch. Von Thailand sind wir freundlicheres Personal gewohnt und konnten fast kein Englisch.

Vasat denizi çok kötü personel normal kötü lokasyon

Fantastiskt

Uns hat der Aufenthalt gut gefallen und wir haben noch 2 Tage verlängert. - Frühstück war sehr gut - Zimmer waren super, bis auf die Innendusche, durch den verkalkten Duschkopf kam kaum Wasser - man kann fussläufig Roller ausleihen - Hotel hat aber auch Roller für 250 THB/Tag angeboten

We first stayed here in 2017 when my girlfriend and I were a year into our relationship. We fell in love with the hotel and beautiful property. Knowing how much we loved it the first time we thought that staying here 7 years later would bring us back to the memories we had from our first stay. Well, 2024 blew away the previous stay. We LOVED our time again , and spent more time at the hotel relaxing than previous. Also we got engaged at the hotel too. The staff are so kind, and the facilities were top notch. We love Chantaramas

An amazing place to stay at very clean and neat just one thing to note if you check in late they will charge you 500 baht per hour.

This was a very comfortable place to stay on a stunning beach.

Paradise - chilled vibe in this stunning beachfront resort. Relax beachfront in the cabanas overlooking a beautiful swimming g beach with the infinity pool behind or sit in the picture perfect restaurant with its day beds, swings, hammocks. Breakfast is superb buffet style, amazing smoothies and specialist juices all day and the restaurant food is delicious.

The rooms are clean, beds are comfortable and A/C works great. The breakfast is very bad, I tried the juice and took a look at the other offerings and swiftly never returned.

A little bit far from town, but this make stay peaceful and quiet. Enjoy staying over ther

Beautiful property. A bit pricey but very peaceful and quite if that's what your looking for. Climbing the hill to get in and out is a bit annoying but other than that everything was great. Awesome staff and service, plus the rooms are amazing.

.

Definitely not a 4 star hotel! May have been in the past, possibly before Covid, but many things in disrepair. No phone in the room for room service or even to talk to the front desk. No hand towels. Many things in disrepair, including pool deck and chairs. Had to wait 20 min for hot water every time we wanted to shower. Placed towel on the floor, meaning I needed a new one and housekeeping picked it up and placed back on the towel hook. Reception not open 24/7, so when people had music on their balcony at 6am was not able to report it. Location wise, also not ideal. Nothing near the hotel to eat, everything at least a 20 min walk to a restaurant. Overall, unless just looking for a place to crash after the full moon party, would not stay here again.

A bit overpriced for what you get. Resort was not well kept because it was low season, staff came to work late and couldn’t get breakfast early.

Exellent service, good location, superb rooms. Beach is okay

Very quiet and lovely location, easy to get to many beaches. Staff were very friendly and efficient.

The staff are very accommodating, resort is very nice.

Amazing hotel! Great service and staff. The rooms are very clean, the breakfast is a great! The hotel propose kayaks free of charge, having a private beach with full service. The staff helped me a lot with scooter rental, ferry tickets, transfer from and to port. Just amazing! Great value for money. The pictures you see are real. I just hope the prices will not be increased by the hotel. Can’t wait to come back again. A real vacation in the best hotel in Koh phangan

unfriendly stuff super overexpensive drinks and food and room service until 22:30! would not go back

Very good experience. If you are looking for a secluded and peaceful place environment, this is the place. But keep in mind that the place is very much away from busy places. My daughter was injured in an accident and hotel staff really helped me to take her to hospital immediately. Thanks you !!

Staff was attentive and informative. Property cleanliness and elegance is unmatched with others in the area. Great restaurant, pool, and endless choices of loungers. Rooms were large and spacious. Staff pays attention to the little things like turn down service and good night notes paired with a sweet treat. Room was always cleaned with towel changes each day. I would stay here again!!!

Most recommend resort in Koh Pha Ngan, amazing staff that will go above and beyond to please you and will do it with a big smile , the resort is clean and esthetic, been taking care of all day, from gardening to cleaning crew, the room was super pampering and comfort, the waiters are professional and welcoming, plus you get the best Pad -Thai at their restaurant, for sure we were lucky to stay there. Worth been a 15 min ride away from Haad-rin downtown!

We stayed here for 3 nights and it was the best hotel we stayed in out of the 7 hotels throughout Thailand. We both loved the hotel and would 100% go back. The staff were so helpful and friendly. They sorted everything for us. A moped our taxis and our boat off of the island. The view and outdoor seating was really nice and same goes for the food and drink. Can't really say much more to be fair. Only bad thing I can say We complained about our TV being fuzzy and unwatchable. They changed it straight away but for a another fuzzy one. But to be honest we didn't watch it. So was a minor on a really amazing stay.

Chantaramas was a gift from the heavens! After vacating our previously-reserved hotel because it turned out to be a nightmare, we were desperate to find something suitable nearby. Luckily, we happened upon Chantaramas Resort and our vacation was saved. From the moment you walk up, the entire site is designed to be as pleasing as possible, with super friendly staff there to reinforce the loveliness. Our room was spacious, clean, and elegant. The bathrooms are luxuriously giant - a separate toilet, shower, and giant soaking tub (large enough for 2!). The amenities at the hotel simply can't be outdone - a gorgeous infinity pool with a swim-up bar, multiple areas and surfaces to lay out on, a delicious restaurant with extremely fair prices, a warm peaceful beach cove perfect for wading around in. The front desk staff was always available to call us a ride, give us recommendations, make change, or answer any of our questions. There isn't much within walking distance, but taxis are plentiful and highly affordable to the nearby attractions. The air conditioner in the room could've been a bit more powerful, and the breakfast buffet leaves something to be desired. However, for the price, this place was an absolute unexpected gem and I'm so glad we found it. We couldn't have been happier with our time here!

I was staying in Bottle Beach for 4 days. Unfortunately, Pabuk storm hit Koh Phangan. My partner and I had to move. We chose this place thinking it was safe, but it was not. Thai authorities issued a warning to stay off the beach. They knew at the time I booked, but did not disclsef it. I asked for a refund twice as we could not stay, they ignored me. Bottom line, go somewhere else where they care about you and your safety; not only your money. There are plenty if places nearby that are as good or better, and have an ethical behavior. Stay away from here if you can.

This was booked as a birthday present for my girlfriend as something special as we’ve been staying in hostels while travelling and it didn’t disappoint in the slightest. I booked the taxi to meet us at the pier and they we very kind to give us a cold towel and cold bottle of water as soon as we were in the car. The service from Tea and his team for the 3 nights we stayed there was exceptional, and they even put decorations in our room while we were out to surprise the Mrs. I cannot recommend this place enough, nothing is too much trouble and the resort itself is beautiful. Rooms are huge and the mini bar and snacks are very responsibly priced and there was even free mosquito repellent! Would stay here again without hesitation!

a beautiful hotel right on the beach front! The rooms were big and amazingly decorated the bathroom was great! We ate at the hotel once and the food was lovely also! Great location if your trip is based around attending the half moon party as this is just up the road and the hotel offers a taxi service. The closest shop is about 10/15 walk from the hotel otherwise it is a short taxi journey into the surrounding areas. Staff were very friendly and helpful!

My bf and I really enjoyed our stay- so much that we extended our stay. The food was good and we did not get sick of having almost all our meals there for 3 days. The staff were very friendly, particularly 1) a lady at the reception (morning shift) who suggested tours for us and made bookings for us; and 2) the evening shift restaurant team who looked out for my bf and I when we went kayaking and did not return until after sunset and they played very funny Thai movies during dinner so that we can experience Thai culture. We tried the massage at the resort and the foot massage was great. I highly recommend this resort!

Absolutely loved this place. Friendly staff, beautiful set up. Very comfortable and safe.

We enjoyed our stay here, staff is friendly and the resort is well maintained. Definitely could come back to stay there.

Great resort with really tranquilo atmosphere; good area and easy access. Staff were helpful and friendly

Location Crappy location in the middle of nowhere. Extremely difficult to get a taxi, and the hotel charges 800baht for transportation from my other hotek which is only 15mins ride away.No convenient store or eatery nearby while the restaurant at the hotel is horrible. Service Unhelpful staffs that could not be bothered to do the least for you and forgetful staffs who make you want for ages for a small request. Terrible housekeeping that let me check into a dirty room with hair all over the bath and shower with stinky sewage. Did not clear the bins for two days Room The room itself is big and comfortable Wifi Drops in and out the whole time and the location of the hotel has poor data coverage Breakfast Terrible food and disgusting coffee... I will not return.

The resort is nice and quite. But, the service is not as it should be and more typical for a 2* hotel. There are better choices...

Amazing !

This hotel/resort was perfect! Staff were extremely friendly and also spoke English very well! So it was perfect for a couple of Canadians in Thailand. Our room was perfect, exactly as the pictures showed. No false advertisement with the view. The staff was accomodating and did their job very well. The grounds were beautiful and well maintained. Then there was the food. Absolutely amazing. Whoever is cooking back there deserves a big pat on the back and a raise. I would highly recommend this hotel, especially if your tired of the touristy city hotels. It doesn’t get much better in Phangan! Your in the middle of the beach and the city and it makes it very convenient to get to either place. I Highly recommend chantaramas! Thank you for making our stay memorable and comfortable!

Had a very lovely stay here with my wife and my children. The resort has a very beautiful setting and was very well maintained. Upon arrival, the staff greeted us with cold towels, fresh juice, and friendly service. They were a joy to deal with. The room was very large, nicely furnished and had a huge separate bathroom. The pool area was beautiful, surrounded by really comfy sun loungers. Excellent range of food for breakfast with a nice view of the sea. The whole hotel complex was simply a great environment to relax in and was tremendous value considering how little we paid.

First time in Koh Phangan and this hotel makes my memories of Koh Phangan very positive. The Room and Bathroom were spacious, beautifully decorated and comfortable. Spa bath on the balcony was relaxing and enjoyable. The location quite isolated but staying here hardly needed to go anywhere else. Amazing beach front. Huge swiming pool. Good food with fair price. Breakfast selection was also good. The staffs and services were all right. I would very much reccommend this place.

Me and partner have been travelling Thailand and this is probably bang on in the middle of the list of places we have stayed. Hotel and room was nice however staff/service wasn’t so great. The restaurant in particular, was firstly the most expensive place we have been and definitely the worst. There is one lady there who literally couldn’t be any less interested if she tried and the food is below average. It’s a shame but again hotel great and just taxi into town or walk down the road for local (better) food.

We were lucky enough to get this hotel at half price, so we jumped on it. For the price we paid I was thrilled with what we got. The room and bathroom were both huge but the window looked straight out onto the path where staff would be working from 6:30am onwards and guests would constantly be walking past making us feel a little watched. Mosquitoes were a big issue but nothing insect repellant can’t fix. The hotel grounds are beautiful. The buffet breakfast was limited and the restaurant was grossly overpriced. Staff were lovely but came across quite unprofessional at times. Once again, thrilled with what we got for 50% off but I’d be pretty annoyed if I paid full price.

First impressions count. So being jumped by 3 dogs at the lobby whom im told are residents of the lodge isnt very nice doesnt also show the place being very hygenic. Overall the complex has potential to be amazing with an Amazing beach front, however, the room we got had a really really bad damp smell, the air con was blowing out bits of what not so the room wasnt pleasant to breathe in to say the least. The room has gaps in the doors so be prepared for mosquitos invading in. The food in the place was a let down, limited menu and quality below average. Room service was poor no 24 hr service and if you needed anything you had to send a message via whasup to the desk that is if you can get on to the wifi network which was really poor. If the room was comfortable at the very least i wouldve been content with everything else being sub par level but it wasnt. I was quite glad to see the back of it when i left.

Amazing stay! Highly recommend.

Close to the beach, clean, staff great and super kind, wi fi works excellent, breakfast delicious

The resort is great! Hotel staff are very friendly and helpful, they will try to help with every question or issue you might face. The resort is highly maintene and clean! Staff are going around all day cleaning and organizing. Pool area and restaurant are really nice. Rooms are very private, quiet and has a nice space. Loved the big bath :) The only downside we find is the breakfast that could definitely improve!

Stayed here last week for 5 nights was a great resort to stay at!

Room very good ,clean and comfortable. Service and Staff very friendly .Resort quite . Hotel helped us do day trips and ferry tranfers .

I stayed in this resort with my wife and it was totally worth it. Despite all the negative comments, I booked the resort anyway at the last minute. Turned out that the services were pretty good. The staffs were very polite and attentive. We stayed in Deluxe room and it was very spacious and clean. The furniture is made of wood which is very nice. The in-room amenities were also good. The beach is quite private. Sand is nice and clean. Sea is totally enjoyable. Wide range of breakfast and they were quite fresh and tasted good. Pool is the highlight. There are trees beside the pool which gives a nice ambience even at noon. There is also a mini bar by the pool so there's literally nothing more I could ask for. All in all it's an excellent for me.

Beautiful room, very comfortable. However, everything was grossly overpriced. Resort quite isolated, and they charged excessive amounts for the resort shuttle bus (taxi was cheaper). Advertised activities, didn't make them available, including spa center. Would recommend going elsewhere.

Fabulous hotel with great rooms, staff and facilities. Infinity pool on the beach was great and the films on the beach event better - they even had a 'love' sign in letters!! Room was huge and nicely done. Breakfast selection was good. Koh Phangan is quite spread out so whilst you needed Taxi's everywhere, it was 100 baht each person. I wouldn't say the hotel is cut off though. Hotel helped us do day trips and ferry transfers. Fisherman's, ODT and Santorini restaurant at sunrise beach were all brilliant restaurants.

Good stay, very comfortable. Although bar and restaurant service was slow. The kitchen closed one evening when we were having dinner and nobody bothered to ask us if we would like desert, so by the time the staff came to ask how our meal was and we asked for the desert menu....we were told the kitchen was closed!!!

From the moment we stepped into the resort we felt right at home. The grounds are just gorgeous, everywhere you look there is beautiful landscaping. The designer / architect really thought of everything. Really great infinity pool and areas to lounge around in the sun. The rooms are beautiful and spacious. The beds are super soft and comfortable (best sleeps I had in Thailand happened here). The staff are all super friendly and we really enjoyed conversing with them. If you're staying here for more than a few days and plan to explore different beaches and areas of the island, I'd recommend renting a motorbike like we did (if you feel comfortable enough) since there is nothing much within walking distance.

One of the very best resorts on Koh Phangan! The staff is very accommodating and friendly.

Amazing accommodations (they upgraded us for free) with everything needed for a relaxing stay including beach towels and a beach bag. The pool area was lovely and the beach was small but nice. Unfortunately the pool side bar was never open during our stay. Breakfast was okay but I would recommend going somewhere else for lunch or dinner (there are a couple hotel restaurants just a walk down the beach). Best of all were the staff. They were kind and helpful. They set up taxis, printed out ferry tickets, answered questions, made us a breakfast to go before our trip, and even helped us pack to catch our ferry when we had returned late from the full moon party. Special shout out to Phu. While it's a little far from the action, it was the best place to stay.

It was totally perfect, the staff, the room everything was good

Lovely hotel, clean and amazing beds. Only problem was we didn't have hot water. Happened with both my visits and the staff seemed to think waiting and wasting water for 10-15 min is ok until it gets hot.. Last visit the electricity went out 2 times as well

Very nice hotel in a quiet area but close enough to the full moon party beach. The swimming pool is great and the beach is nice but the rooms are very dark. Good breakfast.

The hotel is very nice and beautiful, rooms are extremely nice. However the air-condition motor is next to the room and make loud noise. Not enough facilities next to the hotel. A taxi to head Rin will coat 100 baht for each person. The pool is very nice but the beach little dirty. Nice breakfast but the restaurant is not highly recommended.

The hotel has mislead us while suggesting a service to book for us for ferry to koh samui and charging us almost twice for the ferry without telling us at first that they charge commission. Be aware of this hotel and check them very good before booking

Nice hotel with nice pool. 3 min taxi to the full moon Erea

Great hotel but breakfast was poor

This was one of the nicer hotels we stayed in. It's downside is its location, though it's just about 10 minutes from Haad Rin by Taxi. There's nothing near it and the beach is awful. Nice restaurant and pool with a view of some run-down homes next to it... This island just doesn't offer much besides the monthly parties.

Hotel staff was good beach was terrible and the breakfast was lousy ,rooms were beautiful but you couldn't see poor lighting overall I give the hotel a 5 out of 10

Loved this place will be back for a longer stay next year.. Lovely authentic cuisine

Nice very quiet food ok location ok You want to rest and relax this is good place to go

Very bad staff

Wifi rubbish, inflexible late check out, duvet cover was turned over instead of changed one day, lol

Love the pool bars, beach beds and beach pools. Perfect view and perfect way to rejuvenate. Rooms were however quite dark and lots of mosquitoes around so an insect repellent is always required.

Nice room, clean and comfortable, but don't think about swimming in the sea as the tide goes out very far and the beach isn't great. There is a nice pool but I was shocked to be charged 50 baht for a small bottle of water when it's 10 baht outside the hotel. Restaurant food was good except breakfast which was a bit lacking especially when it got busy. Staff were all very nice and willing to help. Overall we had a nice stay there but I would not recommend it to a friend. Actually wasn't that impressed with Koh Phangan generally.

It was ok i recommend my friend to find hotel closer to hadrin beach

Good service ,good view, comfortable

Made two bookings through hotels.com, upgraded for the last night to the room with the outdoor jacuzzi! Found the hotel fantastic, phenomenal views and the entire property was being manicured daily. Very accommodating with requests. Only one restaurant, and one pool. Was enough though, as it wasn't crowded and very peaceful and relaxing. Found the breakfast somewhat bland and cold, we did attend the last 30minutes it was available daily. Food prices were very decent. The only thing they could improve on was the service from staff in the restaurant. The staff were friendly but seemed timid and nervous, it seemed they weren't sure if they should approach you, therefore getting more drinks was more of a self service endeavor.

nice hotel but far from restaurant and stores. the service is not more than ok. could be better.

Chantaramas is a really nice spot. It's perfect for couples and relaxing. A friend and I were there more for partying rather than relaxing and it was a bit of a trek into Haadrin from there. That said there's a 24 hour taxi service for 300 baht into the town, about 10 minutes away. In terms of comfort I give it 5 stars!

Wonderful stay in Chantaramas , staff were very pleasant & helpful. Pool is beautiful & location of hotel is great.

It's clear that this hotel can inflate its prices due to its proximity to the full moon party, we paid the same rate for a private pool room as we did for the sala samui, however it was night and day difference. Our room was not clean, the pool was not private (big window to public pool) and the outdoor space was overgrown and not well kept. You are forced to make a 3 night booking, that should be ok if the facilities are good and with a good spa, however facilities are limited and the spa is terrible, dirty, looks half finished and no air con and or fans! The positives were food and prices are reasonable and the staff for the pool bar and moon deck were nice. Out of 15 nights in Thailand at a range of hotels, this was the most disappointing.

A pleasant stay, excellent ambiance and music, amazing pool and sunsets. The food (lunch/dinner) was nice but a bit pricey.

The rooms were fabulous. Spacious, quiet, tidy, with great amenities. The beach was very peaceful (not ideal for swimming bc too shallow but gorgeous all the same). Food fantastic, easy to get into Haad Rinn, pool was beautiful and we used it everyday. Food a bit pricey but there are other restaurants on the beach that were a but cheaper. Great value for the $. We would go back forsure!!!!!

It was a great hotel and the staff were excellent. The hotel restaurant was a little over priced but of good quality. During the full moon party period its the perfect hotel to go back to relax and unwind. This would be a good hotel for couples.

we were staying on the last week of Jan 14 , a family of 3 , had a lovely relaxing time, the staff was wonderful and attentive , hotel amenities were impeccable and in good condition , the location was very close to thong sala ( 10 minutes) the main town on the Island , if you like shopping and checking out the Thai life style, easy to step out of the hotel and pick up a taxi. The food at the restaurant at times needed improvement and was slightly expensive compare to the over all prices on the island , however we felt the kitchen staff + chefs were open to receive feedback and were trying to come forward with innovative solutions. The spa - very spacious and welcoming , with good therapists. the only thing which was a bit of a let down was the music played through out the day at the pool + restaurant- trance/ techno affiliated music with party goers , i would recommend to extend the music selection and have soft soothing music while you eat. Overall it was enjoyable , relaxing holiday and would recommend Chantaramas to most of my friends.

Hotel itself was great. Huge rooms and very luxurious. That is a major plus. The pool is also very nice. However the breakfast was very minimal and also the location is a bit far from anything interesting. I have been to similar hotels, but ones that offer free shuttle service in to town.

big and very beautiful rooms with a big tub and shower. nice breakfast right on the beach. great infinity pool. free welcome drinks at check in.. for sure it was the best hotel we stayed in our month trip in Thailand!!

One of the best hotels on the island

It's a very good hotel for couples and families just 10 minutes from the center of had reen.

Was reasonably good. We arrived i Koh Phangan for the full moon party. Stayed 2 days and overall the hotel was great. We were welcomed upon arrival and were showed to our room. Only downfall is they put another guests name on our luggage and handed me the wrong passport upon departure which was a little bit worrying.

This hotel was probably one of the best in the area. The rooms were fantastic and I thought the bedding was very comfortable. The manager was Swiss and very polite and always asking how we were and if we needed anything. The grounds needed some maintenance and sometimes it smelled like sewage (but other parts of the island did, too). It was difficult to get drink/food service at the pool and beach. Also, guests from the neighboring hotel were using our chairs and pool bc they didn't have one. Overall, I would recommend if you are wanting to go to this island. I went for the Full Moon Party and should have just stayed for 1 or 2 nights and then gone to stay on Ko Sumui for the remainder of my trip.

Great place to stay! 10min taxi from Full moon party which gives you the best of both worlds, highly recommended. Great Pool with a bar too!!!

Beautiful place, clean, spacious room, private beach (although threre was a low tide at the time we were there and we couln't enjoy the beach-month of May). Service was ok but they charge for every little thing. The hotel dosen't provide free shuttle from Thongsala pier on day of arrival to the resort, which it should. The hotel is located 10 min drive from the main beach - Haad-Rin, impossible to walk because of steep roads. Tuk-tuk or hotel shuttle cost 100 baht. The hotel should charge less from its guests. In addition we wanted to print out 6 pages (travel confirmation) and they wanted to charge 10 baht per page...All in all these prices are really not high, but they should come towards their guests. Asked for honeymoon treats/upgrade (we were actualy on our honeymoon) and got none. Breakfast wasn't very rich, a waiter named Kao was very niceand friendly. We left him an envelope with some tip.... hope he got it. Receptionist didn't know English. Restaurant is very good but a bit pricy.

The hotel overall was nice but the service was the worst I've had in a long time. We attempted to eat dinner there 2 nights and both nights either one of our party didn't get their food or the food came out extremely cold. The service is the major issue with this resort. The room provided was placed in the far back also even though we purchased an upgraded room. The resort itself was nice and had nice features, rooms, and it was clean. If you were a family I'd be careful not to go during or around the full moon party due to the type of attendees there.

Well what can I say. Me and my girlfriend stayed here for one night so we could go to the Half Moon Party and it was the nicest place we stayed during our whole trip!! I wish we stayed for longer. The location is perfect (There is a supermarket 5 min walk down the road to the left and a place to eat). The room was HUGE! and the bathroom was even bigger than the room. WOW WOW WOW is all I can say. They serve breakfast right next to the beach, however do not eat in the restaurant because they charge you the tax which means your cheap meal becomes very expensive.

Great hotel. Staff are nice and friendly (although the front desk closed down at 11pm..odd). We went to this hotel last minute b/c of the moon-party and its location is great 100 bhat per person regardless of where you go. Food was good at the hotel (both breakfast and dinner) - we didn't try the pool bar. View is outstanding looks right out to the sea and surrouding islands from pool and restaurant area. Rooms were large with a walk-in closet/bathroom area and outdoor shower...simply beauitful and super comfortable..defintely better than other hotels (where we paid a lot more). Surrounding area outside the hotel is very average but thats the whole island..small shops/restaurants/7-11s...etc. nothing fancy. You MUST try the Fisherman's restaurant...absoltyely fantastic and cute and amazing food...we tried the full seafood menue and loved it (and the crab curry comes as a whole crab...not fillet pieces..) you will not regret getting there and being treated well..in a very comfortable and cozy atmosphere.

Booked hotel for 2 adults and 1 child. Upon arrival the room was set for 2 adults only. Customer service at front desk was insisting that we need to pay extra for bedding / pillow for a child. Even after I showed them that we paid for 3 people, it took couple more visits to and arguments with front desk to get pillow and blanket for a child. The restaurant serves mainly "american" type food, very limited selection of local thai meals Hotel is quite far away from any convenience stores and/or city life. When we were checking out we got charged $10 for broken ashtray (we don't smoke, the ashtray was outside the room on very unstable table). The max price of such ashtray is about $1 in US, probably 25 cents in Thailand. Would never stay at this hotel again.

The hotel rooms were great, I loved the actual hotel itself but the service was terrible. About 5 people behind an empty bar at all times and it takes about 10 minutes for them to open a beer and give it to you. Left the key with the front desk on the night of the full moon party, when i arrived back at the hotel at 1:30am there was no staff around for me to claim the key, waited about 40 minutes, got annoyed and decided to go behind the desk and find the room key myself. This means there is bad security as I was looking for about 10 minutes before I found them. It's making me frustrated just writing this reveiw.

Pros - Relatively close to Haad Rin, decent food, nice pool (not many people in it though), decent price, two showers, staff speaks above-average English (especially one of the guys at the restaurant) and are very friendly. Cons - Older crowd, shuttle bus is infrequent, Koh Phangan is kind of a pit. If you want to go to the "town," ask to go to Haad Rin instead of the actual town (Haad Rin is just as big and much nicer).

Beutiful beach 3 min by bike/taxi to full moon beach perfect to relex the pool vila amazing

Facilities: Nice , Above average; Value: Affordable, Inexpensive; Service: Flawless, Outstanding; Cleanliness: Spotless, Immaculate;
